B'day was in October. I bought a 9 in October. I actually hadn't considered the significance of this year to my favorite round until just after I posted my age. I had to do the math to figure my age before I posted. Almost took the easy way out and posted 1967 - I'd still be clueless. But now that I know: it's open season on 45s through Halloween (my annual birthday bash).

I jump a group in a month, so I clicked that group. SS age soon. I do not know a firearm in that caliber.

"I am besieged by a thousand or more of the troups under Santa Anna. I have sustained a continued bombardment for twenty-four hours and have not lost a man. The enemy have demanded a surrender... otherwise the garrison is to be put to the sword if the place is taken. I have answered the summons with a cannon shot, and our flag still waves proudly from the walls. I shall never surrender or retreat." -- William B. Travis, Alamo

To all of you who say stuff like 28 going on 58, or 54, or whatever -- I doubt it. You just do not know what your 50's, 60's, 70's feel like until you get there.

One thing most young folks don't realize about getting older is that almost any illness, "syndrome", or "condition" can affect you in ways you never imagined -- going from feeling GREAT to blah in a matter of months. Once you lose that strength and vitality -- it does not come back the way it did at 20, 30, 40, and even 50.

You will not be old until you're old -- and it will surprise you. Enjoy what you've got ---- and keep on trucking (as we said way back in the 60's)
